  1. Go to the App passwords page: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

  2. In Select app, choose Mail (or choose Other / Custom name)

  3. In Select device, choose a device (or use Other and name it like Tipo SMTP)

  4. Click Generate

  5. Copy the generated 16-character app password (you’ll use it in Tipo)
